Partner Relationships, Residential Relocations and Housing in the Life Course

Abstract

Partner relationships, residential relocations and housing are crucial to people's well-being and are known to be connected with each other. Many aspects of this connection, however, have remained under-researched or unexplored thus far: living-apart-together besides co-residential partnerships, long-term effects, mutual causality, full trajectories rather than one-at-a-time events, and the impact of the contextual background. We aim to address the following research question: How do partner trajectories and residential trajectories develop in relation to each other in people's life courses, and how are these trajectories and the interactions between them related to the contextual backgrounds of Germany, the UK and the Netherlands? We will derive and test hypotheses from various micro-level theories, including rational-choice theory and bargaining models, and also develop hypotheses on the macro-level impact of welfare regimes and housing markets. We use large-scale longitudinal datasets for the three countries. We will analyze these using a variety of standard and advanced longitudinal methods, including multilevel event history analysis, sequence analysis and dyadic models. Our results will enhance the scientific insight into partner trajectories and residential trajectories in the life courses of linked individuals.

Planned Impact

Who will benefit from this research?We anticipate that the major group of non-academic beneficiaries will be family, population, and housing researchers and analysts working at central and local governments in the UK, the Netherlands and Germany (e.g. the Office for National Statistics for the UK). We also expect that people involved in decision-making in the areas of family, population and housing policies will be interested in the results of the study. Finally, the results of the project will be of interest of the general public in the UK, the Netherlands and Germany.

How they will benefit?The project will improve our understanding of how partner relationships and housing careers evolve and interact in people's life courses. With increasing diversity of partnership and housing trajectories in industrialised countries, research on partnership and housing dynamics is highly relevant. First, the results of the project could be used as input for household projections at national and regional levels, which are used for housing planning and resource allocation. Detailed information on the evolution of partnership and housing trajectories over people's life courses is critical to significantly improve our current (relatively crude) projections. Second, the project will identify the short- and long-term effects of partnership changes on housing conditions of individuals; the results will be important for policy-makers to revise and develop policies in order to also meet the housing needs of vulnerable and disadvantaged population groups. Third, it is equally important to inform the general public on the short- and long-term effects of partnership changes (particularly divorce and separation) on housing conditions and discuss how to avoid undesired housing trajectories.

The PartnerLife project investigated how partner relationships and residential trajectories develop in relation to each other in individuals' lives in the United Kingdom, Germany and the Netherlands. The British team studied: a) the interrelationships between partnership and residential changes, and b) residential and housing consequences of separation and divorce.

A. Significant new knowledge Our findings highlighted that residential mobility and housing are closely related to family life events. We showed that the likelihood of moving is the highest when a partnership is formed or following separation. Interestingly, most moves in the UK are related to the formation of cohabitations rather than marriages. Cohabiting individuals are most likely to move to privately rented dwellings, whereas married people move to homeownership suggesting that marriage is still an important life event in Britain.

Divorce and separation have become life events that many individuals experience. Our analyses showed that separation leads to a period of residential instability; separated people are significantly more likely to move than single, cohabiting and married individuals. The propensity of a move is the highest shortly after separation and it decreases over time. However, even three years after separation, separated individuals are more likely to move than those who are in a relationship suggesting that separation has a long-term effect. These patterns vary by country and housing context. In Belgium, mobility rates remained elevated for a long period after separation, whereas in the Netherlands, post-separation residential instability appeared brief, with mobility rates declining rapidly; the UK, Germany and Australia held an intermediate position.

Most cohabiting and married individuals in the UK are homeowners, but homeownership rates are low among separated individuals. Following separation individuals are most likely to move to privately rented housing, although some move to social housing, or become (again) homeowners. There are significant differences by gender and education. Women are more likely than men to stay in or move to social housing, especially low educated women and those with children, whereas separated men are more likely than women to return to homeownership. The results demonstrate that family structure, resources, and government policies shape housing trajectories of separated people in the UK.

B. Improved research methods We developed a novel method to distinguish between moves due to separation and moves of separated individuals. Analysing both types of moves allowed us to better understand how separation influences individuals' housing careers in the short and long term. We also proposed an original way of dealing with attrition (separated people drop out of the study) and censoring due to a competing event (separated individuals form a new relationship) when applying sequence analysis to prospective panel data. Finally, we showed an innovative way of conducting a comparative study of residential mobility among separated individuals when individual-level data cannot be shared because of confidentiality issues.

C. New research resourcesWe demonstrated how large-scale national panel studies and longitudinal register data can be effectively combined and analysed in comparative research.

D. New research networksWe developed an international network of researchers to compare the relationship between family events and housing changes in industrialised countries.

Exploitation Route

The project deepened our understanding of the short- and long-term effects of separation on residential mobility and showed how housing markets shape individuals' housing conditions. Future research could use the proposed innovative method for comparative research to analyse residential and housing changes of separated individuals in industrialised countries, which share similar levels of economic development, but have significantly different welfare regimes and housing markets (e.g. countries of Europe, East Asia and North America). Additionally, research could explore how the proposed approach can efficiently deal with small cell counts.

Our results highlighted that policy makers should make efforts to reduce prolonged residential instability among separated individuals and address issues of inequality. Social housing offers long-term residential stability to separated women with children. However, it should be more geographically dispersed and mixed with other tenure types to reduce residential segregation, increase social cohesion, and enhance educational opportunities for children of separated, low-income families. Private renting should provide long-term security for those who cannot afford homeownership and/or wish to rent. Smaller and more affordable, good quality homes should be made available on both the private rental market and the homeownership market to better reflect changing family patterns and needs of individuals and families.

A. Beneficiaries and target groups
In our original research proposal we identified the following non-academic beneficiaries: family, population, and housing researchers and analysts working at central and local governments in the UK (e.g. the Office for National Statistics). We also expected that people involved in decision-making in the areas of family, population and housing policies would be interested in the results of the study. Finally, we anticipated the results of the project to be of interest to the general public.
B. Pathways to impact
During the project life-time we undertook the following dissemination activities:
First, we prepared six research articles; four papers focus on the UK, two papers are comparative studies of five countries (see Publications). We are also editing a special issue of an international journal of population studies (Demographic Research). The special issue consists of six studies on the relationships between family changes and housing transitions, and the short- and long-term effects of divorce and separation on housing conditions of individuals and families in the following industrialised countries: Italy, France, United Kingdom, Belgium, Finland and Hungary. Additionally, we prepared a book chapter and four related research articles.
Second, the results of the project were presented at major national and international conferences in population, family and housing studies. In total, the UK team presented 28 conference papers (see Engagement activities). We considered conference presentations as good means with which to convey the results of the project to researchers and decision-makers in the areas of family and housing policies. Many government statisticians and decision-makers attend these conferences and actively participate in the discussion of papers (e.g. Annual Meeting of the British Society for Population Studies: 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017; the European Population Conference: 2016, 2018; Annual Meeting of the Population Association of America: 2016, 2017, 2018). Additionally, the project results (including research methodology) were disseminated among the participants of the summer schools on Longitudinal and Life Course Research (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018).
Third, we prepared an open access policy brief on Changing Partnership Patterns, Housing and New Social Vulnerabilities, which was published by Population Europe (https://www.population-europe.eu/policybrief/changing-partnership-patterns-housing-and-new-social-vulnerabilities). Population Europe is a network of leading population centers and its objective is to disseminate up-to-date research information to policy-makers and various stakeholders. We also published a summary of our research in the Understanding Society Insights in 2018/19 (https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/sites/default/ files/downloads/insights/insights-2018.pdf) and prepared a short video with the main project findings and their policy implications to showcase the project (https://partnerlifeproject.org/news/). The PartnerLife Project also has a website, which includes an overview of our main activities, publications and presentations (https://partnerlifeproject.org/).
Fourth, we organised an International Research and Policy Symposium on Family Changes and Housing Transitions in the Life Course in St Andrews in May 2017. This symposium brought together academic researchers and non-academic policy-makers (e.g. Joseph Rowntree Foundation, UNECE) to discuss recent research on the relationships between family changes and housing transitions, the short- and long-term effects of partnership changes on individuals' housing conditions, and the challenges that changing housing systems and new demographic realities pose to family, housing and welfare policies in the UK and beyond. Academic presentations were the focus of the first day, whereas the key results of academic research and their policy implications were discussed on the second day. The symposium ended with a panel discussion on "Are policies fit for purpose?" (https://partnerlifeproject.org/research-and-policy-workshop/).
C. Impact
We have reported academic impact of the project in the Key Findings section (significant new knowledge, improved research methods, new research resources and new research networks). The wider societal and economic impact of the project is related to two areas: a) improved measurement of complex family and housing trajectories; and b) increased awareness of the negative impact of separation on individuals' housing careers.
1. Improved measurement of complex family and housing trajectories
Our research has drawn attention to the need to improve the measurement and information collection on complex family and housing patterns in industrialised societies (including the UK) where marital divorce and separation have become life events that many individuals will experience in their lives. We have (directly) communicated our findings and recommendations to government statisticians at the Office for National Statistics, the National Records of Scotland and to the Statistical Division of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), which coordinates collection of population, family and housing statistics in Europe. Our research paper on separation and housing in Population Studies (2018), which is widely read by government statisticians, has been viewed 1,527 times (11/03/19); this is one of the largest figures for a recently published paper in this journal. This paper also won second place in the John Rasbash Prize, awarded by the Centre for Multilevel Modelling (http://www.bristol.ac.uk/cmm/research/rasbash-prize.html). We expect some changes in the future on how information on family disruption and housing changes are collected in order to provide improved services for most vulnerable and disadvantaged groups and to revise and develop relevant policies.
2. Increased awareness of negative impact of separation on individuals' housing careers
Our project identified a number of negative consequences of divorce and separation on individuals' housing trajectories (see Key Findings section) and provided the following recommendations: policies should reduce residential instability of separated people; increase their tenure security; reduce spatial segregation of social housing (which is important for women with children); and diversify housing stock to better represent changing housing needs of individuals and households. We have communicated these recommendations to selected local authority representatives, stakeholders, policy makers and to the wider audience (see pathways to impact). Although we are not aware of any policy changes resulting from our recommendations, our dissemination activities have certainly increased the awareness of the housing issues of separated people and potential solutions to these problems to meet the housing needs of vulnerable population groups. We have launched some debate and anticipate that our results and policy recommendations will be referred to and discussed in the future. Additionally, we have recently contributed a book chapter summarising the key findings of the PartnerLife project to the Handbook of Demographic Change and the Life Course, which is likely to become a key textbook for social science undergraduates and postgraduates, hence generating further potential impact in the future.
Furthermore, the RA (Julia Mikolai) was invited to the high-level expert meeting on lone parents in Brussels, organised by Population Europe. One of the main consequences of marital divorce and separation is the growing number of lone parent (mainly lone mother) families. The RA shared and disseminated some of the key findings at the expert meeting, which was attended by many key European stakeholders such as UNICEF, COFACE, One-Parent Families Scotland, European Economic and Social Committee, AGE Platform Europe, OECD, and the European Commission. The results of the discussions between these stakeholders and academic experts have been summarised in a Population Europe policy brief (https://www.population-europe.eu/policy-brief/supporting-lone-parents-and-their-children-europe).
Finally, the project PI (Hill Kulu) has been invited to participate in the work of the Expert Advisory Group at the Scottish Government to analyse the impact of the UK leaving the EU on Scotland's population and migration including labour markets, housing and households. This certainly has been an indirect (if not a direct) impact of the PartnerLife project. Participation in the work of the expert group will provide the opportunity to further disseminate the project results and policy recommendations.

This is a statistical model to study life trajectories of individuals in social science research. We have extended conventional competing-risks survival analysis to simultaneous analysis; the method allows a direct comparison of the risk of various outcomes for population subgroups (e.g. the likelihood of moving to homeownership among married people compared to the likelihood of moving to social housing among separated individuals).

Count-data approach to compare transition rates across countries

Description

This method proposes a way of comparing transition rates across countries when individual-level data cannot be released to another country for comparative analysis. The approach is as follows: The individual-level data are used to calculate aggregated event-time (or occurrence-exposure) tables for each country, which are aggregated by different combinations of socio-demographic variables; the country files are then merged into one common database and the data are analysed by using a Poisson regression model.
